Default Cheap 17" road race/Auto-X option...

MB Motorsports Competition. 17x9 +27 offset



Born for the street and the durability for track use was our inspiration for this new and exciting wheel. Weighing in at only 20.5 lbs., the MB Motorsports Competition will deliver high-end performance and looks at an affordable price. The wheel features a smooth 5-spoke design combined with a subtle one-inch lip to ensure a lasting appreciation. A Gunmetal finish shot with a thick clear-coat conveys both sophistication and a racing image that will certainly be recognized by enthusiasts. We are confident in the quality of the Cast construction and have backed it with a one-year free replacement warranty in the event of any manufacturing problems. When performance, value and looks are needed, the MB Motorsports Competition is the answer.

Throw on a set of 275-40-17 Nitto 555R II or your choice of rubber and you're out racing.

Oh yea....clears the Brembos no problem!

According to your website, you guys don't sell the Nitto 555RII. How much are they in their one and only size?

If that setup is cheaper than Sport Edition Fox 5's with Kumho Victoracers (245-40-17 heat cycled for $153) then it might be a nice alternative.

Todd (or anyone else),
Would you recommend getting Kumho Victoracers or the Nitto for autoX? I have heard good things about the Nitto's but not too much since they only come in one size (perfect for Camaro's). Looks like they are comparably priced, I just hope the performance is just as good.

Default Kumho Victoracers

Todd-

I looked at your website and found that you carry Kumhos. Just nothing about Victoracer V700s- can you get this line and if so how much? Say 245/40/17s up front and 275/40/17s for the rear.

That's an attractive wheel and tire combo for track use!

When I searched for wheels putting in my car (g35 coupe with a 6 speed, though there is no choice for that, just base and sport??), I don't get an option for 17" wheels with a "sport" car, just 18's, 19's, and 20's. I then put in a 350z touring and I get options of 16's!!! 17's, 18's, 19's, and 20's. I select 17" wheels and these ones don't come up. I just figured I would let you know since I have been looking and looking, but I don't know if I can trust what it says on the site.

Can you get Victoracers as well in 275 - 40 - 17 and in 255 - 40 - 17? What is the price for heat cycled tires???

Heatcycling...yes

Sorry...no Kumho race tires.

Grrrrr...our fitment guide is having an issue with the G35. Follow the 350Z guide and you will be fine.

Todd or Kevin
Ok, I think I might have my last question before I buy these. With the 275-40-17 Nittos up front, is there any rubbing at all? This is on a G35 (which I would assume has the same wheel well opeinings), but will they rub at all at FULL LOCK?? If so, I might have to find Victoracers to fit on them instead, but I really want to try the Nitto's!!! Please let me know if I might run into any problems and if any spacers are going to be needed. Thanks a lot in advance!

Dennis

Also, how much does heat cycling cost for all 4 tires??

Is it ok to have 275 in the front? Sounds a little bit wide.
